Working out in KK

I recently started my new job in KK. It's more or less what I've been and enjoy doing- corporate work. This company plans to seek listing on AIM in London, something that I've not only previously done and achieved (successful AIM listing of a Malaysian company) but I've also ran the corporate side of the company during its tenure as an AIM-listed company.

I fly in to KK weekly for a few days and I stay at Waikiki Condominium in Tanjung Aru. Since this is a condominium, I expected some very basic equipment at the gym.

The multi-trainer machine and bench have missing seats. They are so kind to offer a plastic chair as makeshift bench! The multi-trainer machine is not oiled so there will be kinks when you use it. As for dumbbells, there are only 3 dumbbells- a pair of 25lbs and 1 (yes 1 single dumbbell) 5lbs. The barbell is not an Olympic standard sized barbell that weights 20kg. It's not only puny but it's also rusty. There are 4 plates- 2 10kg and 2 5kg plates.

I was looking forward to really hit the gym big time when I'm in KK as I don't have much to do besides working at the office. Furthermore, I don't have to worry about picking up the kids or rushing them to sleep so that I can head over to Celebrity Fitness for an hour or so before they close at midnight.

So what do I do? How do I make full use of my free time in KK? Go drinking? *LOL* Well, that's a good option but I would rather workout when I'm alone. Furthermore, it's no fun drinking all by yourself at the pub.

I visit this gym twice and below is what I do to maximise my workout given the limited equipment:-

About Me

A Malaysian corporate consultant/manager who is also an avid fitness buff. Formerly flabulous. Trying hard to be fabulous. Enjoys the finer things in life (especially good food and wine!)...which is probably why fabulosity is rather illusive. Believes fitness is a way of life, not a fad. Firm believer of fitness being a life-long commitment and way of life. Fitness it's a marathon, not a sprint.
